Panel
- Game-Changing Technologies and Their Policy Implications |
|
New technologies, such as wireless broadband,
optical networks, Grid computing, Web services, social software,
pervasive computing, and RFID tags, are enabling a new generation of
Internet applications. At the same time, they are posing
thorny new policy challenges. For instance, as Web services
and Grid enable more and more mission-critical software to run "on
the network" rather than on a single computer, who will be liable
when the application fails? What regulations and law will
apply to the new virtual communities being created on Friendster and
Tribe.net? How do national privacy rules apply when personal
data is spread over a distributed storage system in six different
countries? Should the privacy of geo-location data from
wireless devices be protected by law? Panelists will describe
several new Next Generation Internet technologies and the work that
will be needed to understand and address the policy issues they may
create. |
